The USHL publishes a yearbook which lists all of the past yearUs players who
have gone on to play college hockey.  You can get a copy from League
Statistician John Cowley, PO Box 3644, Sioux City, IA  51102.  Total cost for
yearbook and postage is $6.  If youUd like a list from 92-93, e-mail your fax
number and IUll fax it to you. (Or if you donUt have a fax IUll transcribe it
for e-mail, but that will take a week or so).
